In the video, prisoner Alon Oham said, "My message to US envoy Steve Witkoff: Please don't let Netanyahu kill us. Don't help him."
Addressing the crowd, he added, "I apologize for asking more of you than you can handle." He then went on to sharply criticize Netanyahu's government: "I know that (Israeli Internal Security Minister Itamar) Ben-Gvir's police treat you like criminals."
Oham, who has been in the Gaza Strip for 700 days, emphasized that "the Israeli prisoners have become a burden," and warned that "their final days may be near."
"My family, my beloved ones, thank you. I know you are suffering for me. Unfortunately, supporting prisoners has become a crime," he said, but he implored them to continue demonstrating and become a burden on the government, which he said was trying to get rid of them.
